Bengal: Panel to Choose holding HS, Madhyamik

KOLKATA: The state authorities on Wednesday formed a six-member specialist committee to check into the feasibility of conducting Madhyamik and Higher Secondary assessments in the country, considering security problems in the recent Covid situation along with also the fallout of not conducting examinations when students have never been evaluated in the last calendar year.
The committee containing three educationists, two physicians and a child rights advocate is going to need to submit an application from Friday for the state education department to take a call on the matter.
Pupils connected with different state boards also have moved the apex court against carrying of offline tests and eyes are currently trained about hearing.
CBSE and CISCE have cancelled both Class X and Class XII board examinations citing safety difficulties.
For Class XII students, the two boards have retained a listing of written evaluations open in a later date to those not happy with the marks provided after assessing course, mid-term and pre-board examinations.
While the 2 boards headquartered in Delhi have connected schools in cities and towns where access to resources and technology have allowed them to maintain online courses in addition to online evaluations in 2020 and 2021, many schools connected to this Madhyamik Board and also HS Council have managed to do this as a result of digital divide.
A significant part of those 12 lakh and students looking for Madhyamik and 8.5 lakh and looking for HS are out of rural areas in which access to Internet connectivity and electronic devices are still an problem.
According to sources, the committee may take into account whether the examinations may be kept under the present conditions; and if that’s the case, the mechanics of running them exposing pupils to the disease.
It is going to also encounter upon the difficulties of not carrying the examinations as well as the dilemma of assessing the students from the lack of class evaluations, especially those in Class XII.
On Wednesday afternoon, media conferences scheduled to announce that the dates of Madhyamik and also HS tests were cancelled.
The CM had announced the HS will be held in the last week of July and also Madhyamik at the next week of August.
She had also stated the waiver of the examinations are one-and-a-half hours rather than 3 hours.
Additionally, examinations would just be held to the 15 mandatory subjects from the 3 flows rather than the 37 further subjects.
West Bengal Government Teachers’ Association general secretary Saugata Basu explained the lack of internal evaluation except for 10 marks in each area for Madhyamik applicants and practicals for HS applicants are going to be challenging in drawing marksheets.
“That is most likely why the Board and the Council was eager to organize for the written exam at another layout,” he concluded, adding the effect of the HS examination required to be drawn out in time to ensure HS students could keep up with this all-India boards because most opt for analyzing from prestigious institutions beyond the country.
